What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, scalable, automated infrastructure for complex distributed or blockchain systems, with a focus on observability, resilience, operational continuity, and cost efficiency.

At P2P Validator, I keep blockchain infrastructure reliable, scalable, observable, and cost-efficient. I optimize spending, automate operational workflows, implement monitoring and alerting, investigate incidents, and strengthen deployment and recovery readiness for complex distributed systems.

I've also run a freelance business delivering PHP and JavaScript projects end to end, from client negotiations through delivery. My nearly 20 years in IT include system and network administration, CI/CD, Terraform-based infrastructure, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, and cross-platform software quality assurance.
